唐顿庄园第一季第四集_1
[EXT. THE VILLAGE - DAY]
GWEN
When does it open?
MR BATES
Tomorrow afternoon.
GWEN
Well, let?s get up a party in the evening, if Mrs Hughes lets us,after we?ve had our dinner.
ANNA
You?re right. It doesn?t come often and it doesn?t stay long.
GWEN
Well, what about you, Mr Bates?
MR BATES
I don?t see why not.
ANNA
Well, there?s Lady Mary. You go on ahead. I?ll see you back at the house.
GWEN
Right you are, then.
ANNA
Good day, milady. Is Her Ladyship all right? Has she recovered from...?
LADY MARY
If you think she?ll ever recover from carrying the body of Mr Pamuk from one side of the house tothe other, then you don?t know
her at all.
ANNA
Well, I didn?t mean recover, exactly, just...get past it.
LADY MARY
She won?t do that either. When she dies, they?ll cut her open and find it engraved on her heart.
ANNA
What about you? What about your heart?
LADY MARY
Haven?t you heard? I don?t have a heart. Everyone knows that.
ANNA
Not me, milady.
[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]
MR CARSON
You wanted to see the new chauffeur, my lord.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Yes, indeed. Please send him in. Come in, come in. Good to see you again. Branson, isn?t it?
BRANSON
That?s right, Your Lordship.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I hope they?ve shown you where everything is and we?ve delivered whatever we promised at theinterview.
BRANSON
Certainly, milord.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Won?t you miss Ireland ?
BRANSON
Ireland, yes, but not the job. The mistress was a nice lady, but she only had one car and she
wouldn?t let me drive it over twenty miles an hour, so it was a bit…well, boring, so to speak.
[Robert chuckles.]
BRANSON
You?ve got a wonderful library.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
You are very welcome to borrow books if you wish.
BRANSON
Really, milord ?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Well, there?s a ledger over there that I make everyone use, even my daughters. Carson and MrsHughes sometimes take a novel or
two. What are your interests?
BRANSON
History and politics mainly.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Heavens. Carson, Branson is going to borrow some books. He has my permission.
MR CARSON
Very good, my lord.
BRANSON
Is that all, milord?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
It is. Off you go and good luck.
[Branson exits.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
He seems a bright spark after poor old Taylor. And to think Taylor?s gone off to run a tea shop. Icannot feel it will make for a
very restful retirement, can you?
MR CARSON
I would rather be put to death, my lord.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Quite so. Thank you, Carson.
[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
How about some house parties?
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
She?s been asked to one next month by Lady Ann McNair.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
That?s a terrible idea. She doesn?t know anyone under a hundred.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
I might send her over to visit my aunt. She could get to know New York.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh, I don?t think things are quite that desperate. Poor Mary, she?s been terribly down in themouth lately.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
She was very upset by the death of poor Mr Pamuk.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Why? If she didn?t know him, one can?t go to pieces at the death of every foreigner. We?d all bein a state of collapse whenever
we opened a newspaper. Oh, no, of course Mary?s main difficulty is that her situation isunresolved. I mean, is she an heiress or
isn?t she?
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
The entail?s unbreakable. Mary cannot inherit.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
No, what we need is a lawyer who?s decent and honour bound to look into it. And I…I think,
perhaps, I know just the man.
[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]
MATTHEW CRAWLEY
You going to the fair while it?s here.
MR MOLESLEY
I shouldn?t think so, sir. But I don?t mind it. I like the music.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Goodness, what?s happened to your hands?
MR MOLESLEY
It?s nothing, ma?am.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
They look very painful.
MR MOLESLEY
Oh, no, ma?am. Irritating more than painful.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Have you been using anything new to polish the silver or the shoes?
MR MOLESLEY
No.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
May I?
MATTHEW CRAWLEY
Leave him alone, Mother.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
It looks like erysipelas. You must have cut yourself.
MR MOLESLEY
Not that I?m aware of.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
We?ll walk ?round to the hospital tomorrow.
MR MOLESLEY
Really, ma?am—
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
I insist.
